Research from the Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Sweden shows that fibre-reinforced polymer can be used to reinforce concrete structures instead of the typical steel.
Gabriel Sas, assistant lecturer at LTU, says that researchers have so far managed to restore full load-carrying capacity to walls without doors.
The project will continue to optimise the pattern of the polymer, which is expected to further improve the results, according to Sas.
